Good one! It took me longer than I thought it would, but I guess that's usual.
Really good. It took me a while to figure out and I enjoyed it.
I had fun with this one. I loved how after the first five clues I almost had it, I just needed one more fact and you provided it with your final clue.
Aww.. I missed this one. I'm horrible w/reading the grid. But, I'm learning! I'll come back and try this one again - very good!
